A representative overview of Dutch 17th century painting is rounded off with individual gallery pictures by Rubens, van Dyck, Brouwer and still lifes from Snyders, Fyt and Seghers. It is rare to find such an exquisite group of paintings by Jan Brueghel the Elder; in his woodland scenes it is possible to discern the importance of his work for the poetic exploration of landscape and the creation of atmospheric unity that emerges in landscape painting at the beginning of the 17th century.
